What's wrong with it?

[ThePoetSappho]

So long as you're not hurting others, what's wrong with the "if it feels good, do it" philosophy? I'm big on personal responsibility, and personal freedom. i tend to be a glutton and indulge in all things, sometimes to excess. I consider myself a hedonist. If something feels good to me, whether it be smoking, drinking, masturbating, sex, or something as simple as brushing my hair, whats wrong with it?

"and it harm none" - i agree.....but it does bring to mind the Greek adage "moderation in all things"

i suppose the philosophy of moderation stems from the swing of the pendulum in one direction being equal to the swing of the pendulum in the other - great highs will also set in motion the chance of experiencing equal lows

"and it harm none" also applies to not harming oneself - as long as it doesn't hurt you, either, then go for it! excess is relative anyway, it depends on who is viewing you as to how excessive you are perceived.......what you may consider to be moderate may be viewed as extreme to another....

....but, i digress :)

Nothing at all.

It's in your best interest to moderate yourself and be aware of possible consequences of your indulgence, though.

Short-term pleasure, like gluttony, drugs, etc, can result in long-term pain that is not worth the pleasure. Short-term pain or discomfort (like lifting weights, kicking a bad habit, studying when you could be partying) can lead to long-term pleasure that is worth the pain. That you should immediately seize any and all opportunities to set those endorphins in motion and feel pleasure without thinking of the consequences is a foolish and short-sighted philosophy. Wise hedonists seek a compromise that results in the greatest net-gain of pleasure.
